Wake the faith up
v1… 2 I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.
I want you to know how hard I am contending for you
Paul states here how he has been praying for the church in Colosse… he does’t know them personally, he himself is in prison awaiting execution but he is contending for them… Unless you don’t understand the meaning of this word “contending” you don’t realize how strange it is
GK = Ag-own A spectacle in THEE arena. THE ROMAN ARENA… YOU KNEW ONLY ONE WOULD WALK OUT ALIVE… IT MIGHT BE A GLADIATOR, A LION, ANOTHER PERSON…
This word carries 5 motifs behind it:
- 1 It is a fight that demands the expenditure of all of our energies
*The struggle allows for no indolence, no relaxation, no meandering, no indecision, no procrastination,
NO ONE GOES INTO WAR AND HAS THE MINDSET… I HOPE TO ONLY GET SHOT A FEW TIMES!
The spiritual walk (Paul calls it a race)
One of the mindsets behind this word is its a passionate struggle for life… but again not your life, but for someone else’s life.
**and Paul is in this context meaning a struggle over someone else’s life. You might be thinking… I have enough struggles over my life…
A GREAT QUESTION: Have you ever struggled over someone else’s life? MY SON REESE!
Kids in my youth group.
And yes some of you and your family members.
Contend!!! to the end!!!
